SUGGESTED SPECIFICATIONS 


or Installation Instructions for 


Hoop’s ENGLISH SHINGLE ROOFING TILE 


FULL RANGE OF FIREFLASHED COLORS 


“Sussex” —Smooth Texture 
“Devonshire’’— Rough Combed Texture 


ROOF: All roof sheathing (preferably tongue and groove) shall be laid closely and well nailed, by General Contractor. In no 
case shall tile installation begin until all metal work, flashing, gutter work and carpenter work have been completed. 


FELT: The entire roof shall be covered with 30-lb. (per roofer’s square) Asphalt Roofing Felt, over which 15-lb. Asphalt Roofing 
Felt shall be laid, being careful to stagger all joints. Felt shall be applied to have at least 3” lap horizontally and vertically and 
well nailed with large head galvanized roofing nails. Felt on Hips and Ridges shall lap at least 12” both ways. At Valleys, Felt shall 
overlap the metal approximately 6” each side. 


TILE: All roof surfaces as shown for tile, shall be covered with Hood’s “Devonshire” (or Sussex”) Shingle tile 9’x12” laid regular 
with 44%4”x9” exposure to weather (or in 9”x12”, 6”x12” and 4%4"x12” sizes laid random with butts staggering not more than 
¥,” up or down from a 4%” exposure line). All cutting of tile at hips and valleys shall be done by hand, upon installation (with 
no expense to manufacturer), to preserve a slightly irregular valley line. The Ridges and Hips shall be covered with regular stand- 
ard fittings of nearest stock pitch. Provide proper stock terminal pieces for intersections of hips and ridges. Provide stock hip 
starters and gable ends. Provide necessary undereave starter tile and end bands (414”x12” split tile for breaking joints). 


NAILS: Use 6d heavy galvanized or copper nails. 


NOTE: It# is suggested by the manufacturer that the very best type of flashing, valley and gutter material be used since Hood’s 
Roofing Tile is everlasting, and it would be false economy to use inferior metal.

Illustrating ROOF TEXTURE 


The above illustration pictures “Sussex”? (Smooth texture) laid 4% inch exposure to weather. The general 
character of “roof texture” produced is that of wood shingles; embodying the full range of untiring soft natural 
autumn foliage colors. 


We do not manufacture any “‘slip-coat,” or artificial glazed colors. 


STANDARD PITCHES: Fittings such as ridge and hip 
roll and terminals are only made for stock in 9 to 12—12 
to 12 and 16 to 12 pitches. If drawings are made to 
lower or steeper intermediate pitches than these, the nearest 
stock pitch will be supplied unless special pitch fittings are 
specifically called for at a cost of 50% in addition to list 
prices for stock fittings. 


STANDARD EXPOSURE: The standard recommended 
exposure is 414 inch to weather giving a 3 inch head lap 
under third butt—requiring 370 pieces per square—weight 
actual 1,680 lbs. 


ALTERNATE EXPOSURE: For the purposes of economy 
of cost and weight and for larger units of color value the 
tile can be laid with 9 inch exposure, with the introduc- 
tion of a 16 inch wide strip of 50 pound composition roof- 
ing laid so that the bottom edge is flush with the butt line 
of each course of shingle (under each course) to carry off 
the water between the vertical joints. This method so far 
has proven very satisfactory although this company cannot 
recommend the practice as ideal, as the water-proof life of 
the roof is necessarily dependent upon the life of the com- 
position roofing. Pieces per square—185. Weight 850 lbs. 
(See Data Sheet NXD-1.)

** Devonshire” 


RANDOM SIZES: (Sizes 9”x12,” 6’x12” and 444"x 
12”)—For the easiest method of handling random sizes, 
for an even distribution of various sizes over the roof, 
it is suggested that sizes be ordered in an equal num- 
ber pieces of each size. To obtain this, sizes should 
be carried to the roof and applied in equal quan- 
tities of each size. Order as follows: 


9x12—46% of roof area 
6x12——31% of roof area 
414x12—23 % of roof area 


Care should be taken not to allow tile to become 
patterned by a set repetition in the placement of 
the same sizes. All tiles should be laid so as to 
stagger the joint of the tile on course below.

REGULAR 9”x12”—For a more formal effect the regular lay- 
ing of 9x12 is desirable, although a slight staggering of the butt 
line is very pleasing. 


“Normandy” 


REGULAR 6”x13”—Normandy Shingle laid to an approximate 
exposure of 5” to weather, with slightly irregular butt line, is 
most appropriate for semi-informal English or French design. 
The soft pastel shadings and incidental chipping lend further 
character to the desired effect. (See Data Sheet ND-1.)

IN CEMENT, 6”x13”—For 
an extremely informal effect, 
Normandy Shingle laid in 
cement, combines a beautiful 
soft blend of Fireflashed clay 
tones with an antique rug- 
gedness, through the accentu- 
ated irregular shadows of the 
butt line, which is most ef- 
fective. (See reverse side

SUGGESTED SPECIFICATIONS 


or Installation Instructions for 


15-INCH MISSION ROOFING TILE 


Either “Riviera” or “Habana” (Straight Barrel) 


PREPARATION OF ROOF: In all cases sheathing shall be laid closely by general contractor, preferably tongue and groove. All metal 
work, flashing, gutter work, and carpenter work shall be completed before installation of tile is begun. All necessary counter flashings shall 
be properly inserted into masonry, or brick walls protruding above roof surface; bedded well into joints, as such masonry is being laid. 
(When concealed gutter is used—‘‘flashing for concealed gutter shall extend 4 inches above gutter on high side of roof, and on lower 
side shall cover to extreme edge of eave board.’’) 


FELT: The roofing contractor shall cover the entire roof with thirty pound per roofer’s square Asphalt Roofing Felt, over which fifteen 
pound Asphalt Roofing Felt shall be laid, being careful to stagger all joints, Felt shall be applied to have at least 3 inch lap horizontally 
and vertically and well nailed with large head galvanized roofing nails. Felt on Hips and Ridges shall lap at least 12 inches both ways. 
At Valleys, Felt shall overlap the metal approximately 6 inches each side. 


STRIPPING: The roofing contractor shall strip the roof in accordance with manufacturers’ specifications using 1x3'% wood strips, free 
of knots (equal to B grade lumber), to be nailed securely on edge, run vertically, 12 inches center to center. Strips shall be sawed square 
on eave end and set back......inches from the edge of the sheathing. (Note:—Strips are usually cut back 3 inches from edge of eave; but 
these can be set either more or less than this, if desired, as to these are nailed the eaveclosures, which are used to stop the entrance of birds, 
although set back a little to give the open end effect.) 1x5 inch strips same grade of lumber, shall be set on edge along hips and ridges, 
for nailing hip and ridge tile. 


TILE: All roof surface, as shown for tile, shall be covered with Hood’s 15 inch Riviera Mission Tile (either smooth or rough texture) — 
or (Hood’s 15 inch Habana Mission Tile), or (Hood’s 15 inch Habana Tapered Mission Tile)—or equal, in full range of natural fireflashed 
colors from Buffs to darkest tones, (or—‘in color range to be selected by the Architect, from samples submitted). No special finials or 
terminals shall be used. Hips and Ridges shall be covered with standard 15” field tile, lapped 4” and bedded in Portland (or Roofer’s) 
cement, natural or colored as selected by Architect. Regular 4” and 11” starter tile shall be applied at eave courses, as directed by manu- 
facturer’s specifications (see data sheet MA-1), to gain proper pitch and lap. If desired: (Closed end Hip Starter tile shall be used at eave 
end of all hips, and at gable end of all ridges. Plain terminal pieces shall be used at intersection of hips and ridges). ave closure tiles shall 
be nailed to ends of vertical strips at eaves. 


CUTTING: All cutting of tile at hips and valleys shall be done by hand, upon installation (with no expense to manufacturer) to preserve 
a slightly irregular valley line, and openings shall be chinked flush with Portland (or Roofer’s) cement, either natural or colored, as selected 
by Architect. All openings in pans under hip and ridge tile shall be chinked in like manner. 


EXPOSURE: Tile shall be laid in accordance with manufacturers’ specifications showing 11 inch exposure to weather with a 4 inch headlap, 
using 4d galvanized iron (or “copper”) nails for pan tile, and 8d galvanized iron, (or “copper”) nails for cover tile. 


ARCHITECT’S NOTE: When mission tile is to be used on structures that are to have concealed gutters it is necessary that the lower 
edge of gutter be either 4 inches or 15 inches from edge of eave. These distances do not allow any overhang of tile (see gutter tile sketch). 
Any overhang must be deducted from the above dimensions. 


Due to the lasting qualities of Shale Roofing Tile we suggest the use of the very best grade of flashing for valleys and gutters.

MISSION TILE 


“Habana” 


True Spanish Mission Type (Straight Barrel)—-made from a mixture of Terra Cotta clays and 
Shale, hard burned but slightly absorbent to give soft appearance and character of the old hand 
made Cuban tile. 


A wide range of softly blended natural fireflashed colors giving the effect of pastel shadings rang- 
ing from a light cream buff through russets and dull reds to darker red brown and chocolate 
shades; being cooler in color and containing less hot reds than present in the shale tiles. (Note:— 
On account of wide variation in natural burned colors, tile cannot be supplied in closely matched 
shades. Approximate ranges with light, medium or dark tones predominating can be furnished 
and every effort will be made to interpret such choices as nearly as possible.) 


Smooth—Die surface producing a soft dull non-reflecting texture. Made in one texture only. 


Field Tile—Length 15” (Standard), Spread 8”—Camber 214”. 
Starter Tile—11” long, same spread and camber. 
Undereave Starter—4” long, same spread and camber.

Standard Exposure 11’—with 4” head lap (can be laid with 12” exposure, with 3” head lap if 
desired, requiring to ship 210 pieces per square). 


Vertical strips 1x34”, for nailing cover tile should be placed 12” center to center. 


For True Spanish Mission Tile no special fittings (such as finials or terminals) are customary (or 
architecturally authentic). Eaveclosure tile, 4’7 undereave starter tile (to give double butt effect 
at eave), and 11” starter tile (to gain proper lap on first eave cover course) are furnished. 


GaBLE Rake TrLE—Split half tile with two nail holes will only be furnished where specified. 


For Hires anp RwcEs—regular 15” field tile is used with standard head lap. (Piece of straight 
barrel tile with a rounded closed end, for use as hip starter or closed gable ridge end can be 


furnished if desired.) 


Eave closures to be inverted under ridge tile in the pans, are not supplied unless particularly 
specified, as these openings are usually chinked with cement (preferably colored) or with red 
elastic roofers cement. 


No special cut tile for valleys or hips can be furnished. All special cutting is done at time of 
installation, by hand, with a slater’s hammer, with no expense to manufacturer. Open ends of tile 
at valleys are to be chinked with cement (preferably colored), or with red elastic roofing cement, 
and eave closures for stopping these openings are not supplied unless specified, because such treat- 
ment is not architecturally authentic. 


Use 4d nails for pans and 8d nails for covers (preferably copper). 


“A” (First) Grade tile is practically perfect in contour and line and free from objectionable chips 


or cracks, but reasonable allowance must be made for a fireflashed tile of this nature with regard 


to slight twists or difference in size. 


“B” (Second) Grade may be slightly off a practically true shape, slightly off standard colors, and 
corners chipped, etc., but contains no body cracks which would weaken its structure. (Supplied 
in full range of color only.) 


Samples are submitted only for an approximate idea of color, texture and grade. Large quantities 
cannot be guaranteed to run exactly as per a few samples.

INSTALLATION DATA 


FOR LAYING 


IN CEMENT—To carry out a true rugged, typical effect it is best to lay Combination tile in cement, without the use of wood 
strips, and nail on the pan tiles in vertical rows, 10 inches center to center. 


PANS—Nail the pans in position and apply a dob of cement directly 
on top of the nail hole, then as the second pan is pressed into its posi- 
tion the cement is squashed out at the lower end and the surplus cut 
off with a trowel, which allows pointing up the joint where the bottom 
of one pan lays in the top of the other, as in cut No. 1. 


COVERS—By reference also to cut No. 1 you will note that in laying 
the covers a strip of cement is first placed along the side edge of each 
pan before the cover is pressed into position, after which the excess 
cement is cut off even with the side edge of the cover, and any open- 
ing on the side of the cover is thereby pointed up, and closed with 
cement as in cut No. 2. Before applying the second cover a dob of 
cement is placed on the top end of the cover tile, as in cut No. 1, after 
which the second cover is pressed into position. Then continue up 
the roof in like manner. 


Cut No. 3 shows the effect at the eave line, 
and also the rugged character produced by 
allowing the bottom ends of the covers to 
hump up above a nesting position because of 
the quantity of cement under them. 


HIP TILE—Regular tapered field tile is used 
for hips, and by reference to cut No. 2 you 
will note the method of filling the openings 
well with cement at the hip before covering 
with the hip tile. The direction of the hip 
is shown by the fine white line. 


NOTES—To obtain the proper effect it is 
suggested that cement be used freely and 
no attempt be made to produce a mechani- 
cal effect. It is, therefore, suggested that 
the exposure be varied between 10 inches to 
12 inches in order to prevent any uniform 
pattern effect in the cover tile, as suggested 
in cut No. 4. 


ESTIMATING MORTAR—Figure about 1 
bag cement to 3 of sand per square, with 
just enough lime that mortar will work well, 
without being too short. These quantities, 
of course, depend largely on how much 
cement is desired to show. If simply pointed 
up to give cement effect, much less will be 


needed. 


BY NAILING—Lay in the same manner as 
with cement except that 1x4” strips are 
necessary. No short length starter tile will 
be used unless an additional 4-inch starter is 
desired to double the first pan course at eave 


as shown in cut No. 3.

barrel tile with a rounded closed end, for use as hip starter or closed gable ridge end can be 


furnished if desired.) 


Eave closures to be inverted under ridge tile in the pans, are not supplied unless particularly speci- 
fied, as these openings are usually chinked with cement (preferably colored) or with red elastic 
roofers cement. 


No special cut tile for valleys or hips can be furnished. All special cutting is done at time of 
installation, by hand, with a slater’s hammer, with no expense to manufacturer. Open ends of tile at 
valleys are to be chinked with cement (preferably colored), or with red elastic roofing cement, and 
eave closures for stopping these openings are not supplied unless specified, because such treatment is 
not architecturally authentic. 


Use 4d nails for pans and 8d nails for covers (preferably copper). 


“A” (First) Grade tile is practically perfect in contour and line and free from objectionable 
chips or cracks, but reasonable allowance must be made for a fireflashed tile of this nature with 
regard to slight twists or difference in size. 


“B” (Second) Grade may be slightly off a practically true shape, slightly off standard colors, 
and corners chipped, etc., but contains no body cracks which would weaken its structure. (Sup- 
plied in full range of color only.) 


Samples are submitted only for an approximate idea of color, texture and grade. Large quantities 
cannot be guaranteed to run exactly as per a few samples.

METHOD OF APPLICATION 


Hood’s Straight Barrel Mission Tile 
Either “Riviera” or ‘‘Habana’”’ 


FELT: After roof is sheathed solid and smooth, apply 30-lb. roofer’s felt, being careful to lap all joints 
at least 3” and nail well, using regular large head galvanized roofing nails. It is further suggested to 
apply over this a second layer of 15-Ib. roofer’s felt. Stagger the lap and joints of the first layer. 


(Note: As an extra insurance it is suggested that, after roof is felted, it be mopped with a good grade of 
Roofer’s Asphalt before it is stripped.) 


STRIPS: The 1x5” strips are then set on edge on the hips and ridges and the 1x3'4” strips are cut 
to fit against ridge and hip strips, after the manner of cutting rafters, spaced 12” from center to center. 
At lower end, strips should be cut off at right angles with rake of roof as far back from eave edge as it 
is desired to set the eaveclosure tile, making allowance of ¥%” for thickness of same. 


TILE: First nail on eaveclosure tiles, centering on end of strips—then set and nail 4” starter tile (in pan 
position) solidly on roof between each eaveclosure, allowing bottom edge to overhang edge of roof about 
1” (or more if desired). Then set first course of 15” pan tile, with bottom end flush with bottom edge 
of 4” starters. The first course of 11” cover tile are then set and nailed to each strip, making bottom 
end flush with the pan tile. The second course of pans can now be set, allowing bottom end of pan to 
slide down against top end of 11” cover, thus producing a 4” lap in the pan tiles. Cover tiles (15”) are 
then set to lap 4”, which will act as a gauge for the lap of the remaining pan tiles. A little juggling 
may be necessary to finish at the top, against ridge board, with an 11” pan and a 15” cover. This can be 
taken care of by increasing or decreasing the lap in the last four or five top courses. 


CEMENTING: Fill all depressions along hip and ridge with cement, as shown, before putting on hip 
and ridge cover tiles. 


NAILS: Use 4d nails for pans and 8d nails for covers—heavy galvanized or copper.

LAYING NORMANDY SHINGLE 


IN CEMENT 


For a real typical, informal effect the laying of Normandy Shingles in cement produces a truly beautiful 
result. CUT No. 22 has been made from an unretouched snap-shot of a slab shingle roof in London, Eng- 
land, and although No. 23 seems to be a part of the same roof, it is an example of Hood’s Normandy Shingle 


Roof in London, England 


laid by the same method, which so 
closely simulates the English roof as 
to make it almost identical. 


The English tile seems to be some- 
what warped, and the coursings 
slightly irregular. This effect can 
be obtained even with compara- 
tively straight tile by cocking them 
slightly when bedding in cement, 
and chipping off a corner here and 
there, and allowing the exposure of 
the courses to vary by laying with- 
out a chalk line. 


CEMENT: About one bag of Port- 
land Cement, with 3 parts sand, and 
a little lime to work well, will be 
needed per square. 


APPLICATION: After roof is 
felted, set and nail undereave starter 


tile 6x6’, then butter over with a layer of cement about 4” thick, and set first course of 6x13 tile, nailing 
each tile with one 6d nail (preferably copper), then drop a ribbon of cement across the first course horizon- 
tally, allowing about 5” to weather (less if desired), and set second course tile in place, pressing down just hard 


Roof of Hood’s Normandy Shingle 


enough to bed it, and 
cut off cement which 
oozes out, with an up 
stroke of the edge of 
the trowel against butt, 
while the tile is held 
down firmly with the 
left hand. As next tile 
is laid, butter a little 
mortar against — side 
edge, and slide next tile 
against it, and cut off 
surplus, thus pointing 
flush the vertical joint. 

Do not bed each tile 
true, but let them cock 
up here and there and 
slightly stagger the butt 
line, as the natural tend- 
ency will be to perfec- 
tion which detracts 


from the rugged effect 
desired. 


HIP AND RIDGE: Note the use of ordinary straight barrel Mission, end to end and bedded well with cement 


and pointed at joints. 


VALLEYS: It is suggested to mitre tile blind at valleys and round out the sharp corner with cement, using 


a concealed strip of valley copper underneath. 


WEIGHT: About 1800 lbs. per square.

TILE TRIM 
Shingle and Mission 


MISSION RIDGE 


TILE HIPS AND RIDGES 
FOR COMPOSITION ROOFS 


In New Orleans, even slate roofs, as well as composition roofs, are trimmed off with 
burned clay tile Hips and Ridges. As in Pottery, burned clay is easily moulded into any 
desired shape or form to fit any pitch of roof. Aside from the valleys, the greatest danger 
of leaks in composition roofs is at the Hips and Ridges. The life of a composition roof can 
therefore be greatly lengthened by the use of tile for trim. These tiles frame in the outline 
of the roof, and greatly improve the appearance over what is otherwise a very severe flat 
roof, if composition only is bent over the Hips and Ridges. 


There is no department of architecture that has made greater progress in the last five 
years than the making and using of roofing tile. 


We have five plants in the Southeast making roofing tile, and six other plants making 
face brick, floor tile, and fireproofing. 


Most roofers are now carrying our tiles in stock by carloads, as the increased use of fire 
resisting materials, since the World War, has been remarkable. 


Tiles for trim will certainly add to the life and beauty of a roof—much greater value 
than their cost.
